Human Poverty Index

The Human Poverty Index is a way of measuring how difficult it is for people in a certain area to have their basic needs met. It looks at how many people don't have enough food to eat, clean water to drink, and access to health care. It also looks at how many people do not have enough money to buy things they need, how many children do not get a proper education, and how many people don’t have a safe place to live. The Human Poverty Index score is a number on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. A higher number means that it is more difficult for people in that area to have their basic needs met.
